It’s snowing. So heavily that I can barely make out the building across the street. Yay spring in Calgary. ---

It’s gone by now - and the weather is supposed to be nice for the rest of the week. Only 5 tomorrow, but 10 and 12 for the rest of the week. ---

Today there is snow. I am sad. This is also why I never make plans at the lake for May long. ---

20 degrees out today, and I was paddling down the canal in shorts and a t-shirt, enjoying the sun on my face and the surprisingly warm water. It was a beautiful day! I was paddling last night too, at sunset, and it was great too! The current expectation is normal-ish for a couple more days, then a day or two of a bit cooler over the weekend, and then nice and warm again at the start of next week. Mostly sunny the whole time. I’m happy with that! ---

> [@](#): > > You realize I live in Saskatchewan Well, THERE’S your problem 😉 Also, all I hear in this thread is a lot of crying. It’s May 14th now for shit’s sake and the projected high tomorrow is -6C. Good thing I’m going to Texas June 1st for work! ---
